About This Home
An exceptional opportunity on coveted Robin Drive in Bird Key, this fully reimagined bayfront home captures Sarasota’s waterfront lifestyle at its finest. Recently transformed through a meticulous, top-tier renovation, the residence showcases impeccable craftsmanship, elevated finishes, and a seamless blend of sophistication and comfort—where every detail and major system has been thoughtfully curated for effortless, modern coastal living. Elevated above the floodplain with a ground level over 10 feet, sweeping panoramic views span Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline, and the iconic Ringling Bridge—creating a breathtaking backdrop from sunrise to sunset, with city lights shimmering across the water in the evening. Inside, more than 4,000 square feet of light-filled living space unfolds across two thoughtfully designed levels. Soaring ceilings up to 14 feet and expansive walls of glass bathe the interiors with natural light while framing unobstructed bay views throughout. The main living areas flow seamlessly from the inviting sitting room with a statement fireplace to the dining area and custom-designed kitchen, opening to the family room with a built-in bar—a wonderful gathering area to enjoy the gorgeous backdrop of the bay and downtown lights. The kitchen is anchored by a striking waterfall island and features designer-appointed custom cabinetry, premium Sub-Zero, Wolf, Bosch, and Miele appliances, and refined integrated details throughout. A fully equipped back kitchen and pantry, complete with an additional sink, appliances, and generous prep space, enhances functionality while maintaining a clean, polished aesthetic. The primary suite, privately positioned on the main level, offers direct access to the pool, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and elegant finishes. A dedicated office and two powder baths complete the main level. Upstairs, two en-suite bedrooms with bay views, a versatile bonus room, and an additional office space provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Outdoor living is equally compelling, featuring an expansive paver terrace, heated pool and spa, and unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay, downtown, and the Ringling Bridge—creating a serene waterfront retreat designed for everyday enjoyment. Set on protected waters, the property offers 120 feet of deep-water frontage along Bird Key’s Pompano Pass, with direct access to Sarasota Bay, Big Pass, and the Gulf. A newly constructed seawall and Trex dock feature fish and dock lighting, a 24,000-pound boat lift, and dedicated kayak and jet ski lifts—perfectly suited for an exceptional boating lifestyle. Additional highlights include a circular driveway, three-car garage with Tesla charger, and irrigation well. Bird Key offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle in one of Sarasota’s most coveted neighborhoods, just moments from downtown’s restaurants, shopping, and cultural venues, as well as the boutiques and dining of St. Armands Circle and the shoreline of Lido Beach. The Bird Key Yacht Club is currently undergoing a full redevelopment and is expected to reopen as a premier destination for boating, tennis, dining, and an active social scene.
